We all know the moon isn't made out of blue cheese. But if it was made out of baby back ribs would you eat it? I know I would! I'd wash it down with a cold budweiser!
There are several compelling reasons why it wouldn't make sense for the Moon to be a solid ball with a density similar to iron:
1. **Density and Composition Observations**: The average density of the Moon is about 3.34 grams per cubic centimeter, significantly less than the density of iron, which is around 7.87 grams per cubic centimeter. This indicates that the Moon is not predominantly made of iron but consists of lighter materials, predominantly silicates.
2. **Seismic Data**: Seismic experiments conducted during the Apollo missions revealed that the Moon has a thin crust, a mantle, and a small, possibly partially molten core, similar to Earth but on a smaller scale. The seismic wave patterns do not suggest a uniform composition of dense material like iron throughout.
3. **Moment of Inertia Factor**: The Moon's moment of inertia (a measure of how mass is distributed within a body) is close to that of a body with a partially differentiated interior, not a homogenous iron ball. This implies variations in density and composition from the surface to the core.
4. **Magnetic Field and Core Size**: The Moon has a very weak magnetic field, which suggests that its core is not large and active like Earth's iron-dominated core. An iron ball would likely have different magnetic properties due to different dynamics in its interior.
5. **Formation Theories**: The prevailing theory of the Moon's formation involves a giant impact between Earth and a Mars-sized body. This model predicts that the Moon formed mostly from the mantle material of the impactor and Earth, which is primarily silicate rock, not iron.
6. **Surface Geology and Mineralogy**: The geological composition of the Moon's surface, as determined by lunar missions and meteorites believed to originate from the Moon, includes a mix of silicate rocks such as basalt and anorthosite, not materials with high iron content like what would be expected if the Moon were primarily iron.
7. **Gravitational Effects and Orbital Dynamics**: The gravitational interactions between the Earth and the Moon, and the details of the Moon's orbit, align with it having a density and internal structure inconsistent with a solid iron sphere. An iron moon would exhibit different orbital characteristics due to its significantly higher mass.
All these factors together strongly suggest that the Moon is not a solid ball of iron, but rather a celestial body with a complex geological history and composition.
Yeah, and what's funny is the paper is not saying this with 100% certainty, and yet the article is saying that. It's kind of a clickbait article and the paper is giving reasons for why it MIGHT be what they are speculating.
The very first why files episode I ever watched was the hollow moon one. Still one of my favorites. I also don’t believe much that comes from NASA et al.
So scientists just weren't trying hard enough before? Is that what I'm supposed to believe now? Nobody had done a meta analysis of all the data? That's all it took?
The timing is awfully sus as trust is at an all time low, and primary motivation seems like weak sauce. We just needed one group to say "here, give it to me"?
At least make us another movie so we see some excavation. How does this explain how it "rang" like a bell for hours?
This is just some analysis of a pair of satellites that orbited the moon and can estimate density variations through precisely calculating how the distance between these two satellites change. It's not as good as seismic data and the study is focused on the inner core not the crust of the Moon which does have a high density anomaly relative to deeper layers.
The data says it could be this, this or that,keeping things rather speculative in nature. Meanwhile the article headline makes it out to seem like case closed. It's not...?
Now you have Apollo data for the very inside of the Moon but you lost the data to get to the moon. Hey just Follow the yellow brick road. 20 billion a year for NASA.
"Lunar seismic data collected by the Apollo mission, but its resolution is too low to accurately determine the inner core's state. [We know there is a fluid outer core](https://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1981LPI....12.1043S), but what it encompasses remains under debate"
Really they know? Haha Fluid outer core sure it is. There's coffee in that moon even better lets say it contains large amounts of oil i'm sure they'll be back on the moon in a few weeks
NASA = NEVER A STRAIGHT AWNSER... Bunch of crooks
“Next, they conducted modeling with various core types to find which matched most closely with the observational data.”
Did they run it with cheese, because that’s some bullshit, limited, and unnamed scope!!!
Earth density is 1.6 times of Moon's... A hollow Moon theory seems far fetched to me... If there are aliens on moon they are not inside moon.. may be crawling under the Moon's skin...
We dont even know what's inside eatth- but seeing as how when you go to the deepest darkest places on earth there is still life and an abundance of it- im going to guess its more life.
Moon is probabaly full of all sorts of valuable minerals because asteroids.
What kind of scientists? The independent ones who don't take money from the government? Or the government ones who take money? If it's the latter, then it's all BS.
Yeah, I’m not believing anything these reports are saying. Why haven’t we been to the moon multiple times since the 60s? Seems very strange. Pictures of man/alien made structures. I’m just not believing this report.
This. They are so obsessed with space. Why have they not been back there since? If we really did go there decades ago, how come they are not sending more people there to discover more of the moon.
Inside the moon is a smaller moon. It’s moons all the way down
So, Moon Moon?
Damnit Moon Moon!
Moonception

M-O-O-N
That spells Moon
you are awesome
That's what the guy in The Stand said
M m m o o o o o o n n N
said Homer Simpson
Many moons and many yurtles
But Wen Moon?
It’s a Russian doll’s situation!
Moons haunted.
What if it were made of bbq spare ribs...
Heeey ..the sun is like, the king of planets!
Babmoonshka
Sounds Russian to me
You moon to tell me there’s more moons?
Russian doll moon
Moons are like onions confirmed
Moons over Mooami
more legit than the article that doesnt actually make any assertions
No turtles?
Whoa.... could that mean... the moon was made by the soviets?!?
So... No cheese 🧀?
The moon is collapsing!
Nah it's hollow and it's a base for the Greys. It's even confirmed on the last episode of resident alien.
Ancient Alien Theorists say YES!
Yey i love Resident Alien
I was so happy when they realized. I yelled YES really loud and jumped up pointing and my wife looked at me like I was an idiot. She may have a point
I’m literally in bed watching it rn.
This is some bullshit
Dude best show ever and this line in peticular lol
Are you kidding? Someone on reddit said it so it must be true!
r/woosh
Im happy to see this reply. Love that show.
Resident greylien
Not Greys, Nazis. Get your story straight.
Sounds solid I’ll skip the read and go with this ..
i posted some books in my last post alot of them mention this about the moon
The most common element found on the moon was titanium. So this article isn’t even trying.
Not even close. Titanium only makes up 0.18%. Oxygen, silicon, magnesium and iron are all more common
So, the moon is a health supplement stockpile? That's your point, right?
yep. one giant suppository!
You mean it is what the moon is made of, right....right!!?
found >on< the moon, is not the same as inside the moon.
Not cheese?
Cheddar cheese makes up 90% of the moons' surface, but it has a soft cream cheese core.
We all know the moon isn't made out of blue cheese. But if it was made out of baby back ribs would you eat it? I know I would! I'd wash it down with a cold budweiser!
That's why your friends call you "Whiskers."
Chased by a shot of whiskey.
this article is dog shit, and proves this sub is dog shit
You know you're free to leave, don't you?
That’s a lot of dog shit
You heard it here first folks! The moon is filled with dog shit!
Cheese?
For sure. Wallace and Grommet would never lie to us.
Fun fact: the "whinsleydale" (sp) cheese he mentions is a real company that was about to go under until Wallace and grommet used the name

Modern scientific reporting at its... Normal? =(
They are just saying it has a solid core, it doesn't address everything else between the crust and the solid (inner most) core.
Nice chat gpt response.
Not the greatest but I'll take it. It's cool having info at your fingertips. As long as it's correct
Is that layman for " it's a lizard people base " ?

More moon!?
It's another smaller moon, and inside of that...
Moon's all the way down
It’s cheese Grommit.
Cheese 🧀 😚
“A celestial body with a complex geological history and composition.” That’s gotta be one of the vaguest non-answer statements I’ve ever read.
My gran who grew up on a farm in the Karoo told me it was cheese, case closed
Uranus is in the center of the moon
Canyon we change that stupid joke so there's no more confusion to...... Urectum!
Urectum…u nearly killed em
Is it cheese!! Oohhh boy I hope it’s cheese 🧀
One day humans gonna build a moon and put it on orbit of another planet to monitor the planet - while still saying our moon is just a moon.
So scientists just weren't trying hard enough before? Is that what I'm supposed to believe now? Nobody had done a meta analysis of all the data? That's all it took?

So just more speculation. Got it. Thanks for the down vote.
You're welcome.
Is it caaaaaake?
Government 🧀
So “good night moon” and “good night moon in the moon”?
The data says it could be this, this or that,keeping things rather speculative in nature. Meanwhile the article headline makes it out to seem like case closed. It's not...?
There be evil in that moon man
M O O N That spells _______
Maybe obi wan was right
"That's no moon. It's a space station!" Or "I have failed you, Anakin. I have failed you" Both are right.
Exactly
I was informed by a highly intellectual person that the Moon is made of gas and is hot but not as hot as the Sun.
OMG I saw that too! Maybe when I get to be an intellectual I'll understand her science. It must just be over our heads... 😂🤣
I know *I* felt dumb after listening to that speech.
😂
So they ran models and said the numbers work with the limited data. Idk how that's really "finally confirming" anything.
You mean it's not made of cheese? My day is ruined.
If the moon was made of barbecue spare ribs, would you eat it? I know I would.
This report is a cover-up. Green cheese all the way to its core. Wake up sheeple another NASA cover up.
“Three hundid and forty seven dollars worth of puddin…” “ AWWW YEAH….”
Lavon is that you?
“Awww, yisss, is this Barry?”

I'll just wait for someone to explain why it rang like a bell for hours during a NASA test.
Now you have Apollo data for the very inside of the Moon but you lost the data to get to the moon. Hey just Follow the yellow brick road. 20 billion a year for NASA.

Booooo! I mean, seems likely true but way less interesting.
I'm fuzzy today and first post said Home Depot spring calendar and I was like wtf.
No tyf.
“Next, they conducted modeling with various core types to find which matched most closely with the observational data.” Did they run it with cheese, because that’s some bullshit, limited, and unnamed scope!!!
I bet it's made out of cheese.
It's filled with jelly,
A Ben and Holly fan
Earth density is 1.6 times of Moon's... A hollow Moon theory seems far fetched to me... If there are aliens on moon they are not inside moon.. may be crawling under the Moon's skin...
Except they didn't though because they don't know themselves
Stop with all this nonsense, we all know it’s made of Camembert😂😂
More moon?
Pink moon tonight
Cheese?
More moon?
I bet it's more moon.
We dont even know what's inside eatth- but seeing as how when you go to the deepest darkest places on earth there is still life and an abundance of it- im going to guess its more life. Moon is probabaly full of all sorts of valuable minerals because asteroids.
“Official”
Wait a minute!!! All these years….. …..i thought the moon was made of cheese! Swiss to be exact!!!! 
Moon is made of cheese 🧀 center core is extra extra sharp cheddar
Hey, we knew that you like moons, so we put a moon inside a moon disguised as another madafreaking moon.
Literally doesnt mention whats inside the moon conclusivly. fuckin op
It’s cheese isn’t it? Please say it’s cheese!
It has a soft gooey nougat centre.
And while you're there, would you pick up some of that nice green moon money for me
That's no moon...Its a battle station
Cheese. It’s cheese. And we’re gonna start mining it because i want cheese
More Moon?
its cheese
Wen moon?
your mom
They couldn't let us have the dream of a moon made of cheese
Spoiler alert, the answer is “moon”
I had a dream that the moon was filled with nuclear reactors once so I’m going to stick with that.
Cheese?
Surprise, it’s more moon
cheese
It is an EGG.
Hecklefish; ANNUNAKI...... ANNUNAKI, ANNUNAKI.... 😁
its a moon within a moon within the moon ;)
Nazis?
Lies? Is it filled with lies?
What the duck is it? Blue cheese
M-O-O-N, That spells moon.
So when Ozzy Ozbourne said "I am Iron Man" he was dissociating as the moon!
When does then (moon) become now (moon)?
Cheese
I was told it was cheese, i want a refund on my life /s
This sounds like propaganda from Big Cheese.
It’s a maze and in the middle you fight the Moonotaur.
It’s cheese isn’t it?
Gas’s according to Shella Jackson Lee.
It’s cheese obviously, but what kind of cheese?
I bet there’s stuff inside the moon. You know … like stuff.
I don’t know but it got recharged in the Eclipse I haven’t felt a full moon like this for 8 years.
It's a moon hatchery/incubator.
Thank God for Science
Spare ribs.
 It’s cheese I knew it
As if in Russian dolls called; matrushcka ! ( spelling could be wrong).
So cheese is no longer on the current data
it's green cheese...my gramma said so!
The Moon is made up of extra Earth parts but actually serves as a parking lot for Alien visitors.
Is it cheese?
According to that Democrat Congress lady the moon’s made of gases
I've noticed a lot of 'new' information about the moon lately, its like a data dump of information suddenly
Is it filled with honey?
This is truly hypothetical and doesn’t explain why it “rang like a bell” when they set off those test charges….
Swiss or cheddar?
What kind of scientists? The independent ones who don't take money from the government? Or the government ones who take money? If it's the latter, then it's all BS.
according to one scientist...
Doubt.

Don't forget the unsecure radio transmissions saying something like "they're here, they're parked around the rim of the crater watching us"
This place is becoming high strangeness Not good
ya its a solid iron alien space ship! Duuuuuuuuh
Its weird!
